"Mama! Itna jaldi nahi karna hai. SRK wala pose main beat pe aana chahiye!" Akriti made Sidharth and his cousins dance as per choreography on a peppy bollywood song.
"SRK pose on 'Meri honi reyy...' now turn and hath samne point karo! 'Tenu laike mai jawanga.. dil deke-' Dil me step change hai. Okay!" She further danced, making the boys copy her.
"He's doing so good na. Soya nahi abhi tak dance prepare karne ke liye, bichara subha se kaam pe laga hua hai." Preeti said as she checked on a few arrangements in the yard with Neetu where the tent had been set and the stage was occupied with the youngsters preparing for the Sangeet that was going to take place tomorrow.
"Time se so jana sare! Kal subha pooja karni hai aur shaam ka function toh der tak chalega! Shonty, Anni beta tumlog bhi aram karlo." Rita ji told her children, walking into the lawn and looked around, mesmerized with the decoration.
Multi colour shaded tent with a canopy built on the top and a huge chandelier hanging up there. It was amazing, colourful and gave away the wedding vibes.
"Mom, aapne mera dance dekha?" Sidharth walked down the stage to talk to his mother as he held a copy smile on his face, expecting a compliment from her like a child.
"Dekha maine, hero lag raha tha tu!" She chuckled, wiping some sweat out of his forehead using her dupatta.
"Baal me tel laga dona, pehle bolne wala tha lekin time hi nahi mila." He requested and she nodded, gesturing to him to follow her in. He sat down on the floor in front of his mother to let her oil his hair. They sat in silence, having a moment to themselves until his phone chimed with Shehnaaz's name on the display.
"Hii, kya kar rahi hai?" He received the call.
"Kitchen samet rahi thi, tu kya kar raha hai?" Shehnaaz replied.
"Kitchen me kya kar rahi hai? Do maids rakhi hai na!?" He frowned, asking.
"Arey un do bichari ladkiyon se kitna kaam karwau?! Thodi help karne lagi thi unki, subha se aaye huye the dono. Abhi toh mai balcony me chill kar rahi hu." She replied, sitting down comfortably on the grass bed on their balcony.
"Kitni achi bahu hai meri!" Rita ji commented, making them laugh.
"Maa! Aap jag rahe ho abhi bhi?!" Shehnaaz laughed and replied, it was almost 2 in the night.
"Bas ja rahi thi sone, in logo ki dance practice dekhte baithi thi." Rita ji replied.
"Ooh!! Ladke wale badi takkar dene wale hai!!" Shehnaaz teased him.
"Chal chal, idhar ladko se ek step seedha nahi ho raha." Sidharth laughed at themselves and got up from the floor once Rita ji was done oiling his hair.
"Kaisa lag raha hai tujhe? Pata hi nahi laga na kaise do mahine nikal gaye aur date itniiii paas aa gayi!!?" She asked.
"Sach me. 3 din me shaadi hai! I can't believe it." He chuckled, feeling a surreal mix of enthusiasm and nervousness rushing through.
"Bebu, sab sahi se ho jayega na?" She asked suddenly.
"Ha meri jaan, kyu puch rahi hai aise?" He asked back, worriedly.
"Tune itna mehnga hotel book kiya, itna taam jhaam aur dono culture me shadiyan ho rahi hai. Pehle exciting lag raha hai but abhi samajh aa raha hai ke kitna kharcha hone wala hai! Manage ho payega?" She replied.
"Tu abhi bhi uss baat pe atki hai? Shehnaaz everything is going to be fine, I have my savings! How many times do I have to tell you that?" He told her. It had been over a week since she came across a couple of payments he was making and went crazy about them. Certainly feeling quite guilty about planning such an extravagant sequence of their marriage.
